I'm really just a juggler.

Although he thought so in his heart, Bu Chen still had to answer honestly. What if this woman didn't like him and killed him?

"Your Majesty is as beautiful as a fairy, how could she be scary?" He rolled his eyes and thought for a moment before continuing, "I never believed what was spread outside."

"Oh!" The imperial concubine asked in confusion, and continued, "How did you know that I am as beautiful as a fairy?"

Can I say that I guessed it because of your figure? Bu Chen replied: "I guessed it because I heard your voice was like a spring breeze."

"How dare you!" the imperial concubine shouted, "How dare you criticize me without permission? This is simply an unforgivable crime."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Bu Chen to reply, a long shadow came over and hit Bu Chen with a "slap!"

"hiss!"

Bu Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. This whip really hurt. He didn't expect that this imperial concubine was actually a martial artist.

However, Bu Chen did not expect that before the force of the whip had passed, another long shadow rushed over and hit Bu Chen again with a "pa" sound.

"Ah!" Suddenly a howl came out from Bu Chen's mouth. Seeing the imperial concubine raising her hand again, Bu Chen shouted in horror.

"Stop! Wait! Slow down!"

The imperial concubine stopped and looked at him suspiciously: "What do you want to say?"

Bu Chen swallowed his saliva and said, "Can you change the place? It hurts to hit me here."

After hearing this, the imperial concubine paused, waved her hand, and hit Bu Chen with the whip again.

"Ah!" This howl was much louder than before. It was obvious that the imperial concubine had hit the same place again.

And this time, the force was much greater, directly knocking Bu Chen to the ground.

"You are Bu Chen. I have learned about your affairs. You have done a good job in Yingzhou." The imperial concubine's voice came slowly.

Hiss! Let's have a smoke first and talk about things later. This is more tempting, okay? But why do I always feel weird?

Something's wrong with me!

"Your Majesty, these are all rumors. Don't take them seriously. They are all made to look good by colleagues." Bu Chen replied.

The imperial concubine's mouth twitched. For a moment, she didn't know how to understand this sentence. Was this humility or pride?

Normally, when she saw someone, she would whip them a few times to convey her power to the other person, and at the same time, to prevent them from having any inappropriate thoughts. Everyone spoke in fear.

But today seems different, and it even has the opposite effect.

"I heard you're a Qi practitioner, but I see your physique is quite good too. I have a fruit here as a reward for you."

The imperial concubine quickly changed the subject and threw out a fruit.

Bu Chen took the fruit and looked at it. It was shaped like a peach and was jade white. He knew it was definitely not an ordinary thing. He hurriedly thanked her and said, "Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty, but this is not appropriate."

You can't just accept this offer casually. If you accept it, you will be hers from now on. Oh, that seems not bad.

Ahem, just kidding. The power of the palace is no joke. If you are not careful, you may be doomed.

Especially now that the situation in the court is unclear, the emperor is like a puppet in power, and only a small number of royalists are still struggling to hold on.

Although the imperial concubine holds power, it is only a part of it. The majority of the power is still in the hands of the empress dowager and the queen.

Although the emperor was a puppet, he was the legitimate successor and no one could touch him. The empress dowager was deeply rooted in the palace and was as close to the empress as a pair of trousers.

Only the imperial concubine is like duckweed, without any foundation, and may fall apart at any time.

This is only within the imperial palace. Outside the palace, except for the Prince of Jin, the other three princes are in the capital.

My uncle, the Prince of Qi, took the initiative to refuse the fiefdom and said that he only wanted to concentrate on studying martial arts, so he stayed in the capital.

The Night King is in charge of the Night's Watch, and the court has no control over him, but to say that the Night's Watch should replace the court is nonsense.

Only Prince Ning asked for the fiefdom but did not leave the capital. No one knew what that meant.

Although he made friends in the martial arts world like the King of Qi, he always felt that something was missing.

So, in situations like this, it’s better to stay away from it.

The imperial concubine nodded and continued, "It's up to you whether you want it or not, but if you don't, you will definitely regret it."

Bu Chen frowned. What did this mean? A threat to him?

"My lady, what do you mean by that?"

The imperial concubine did not say it explicitly: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious, I just feel regretful."

Nothing? Regret?

Is he going to attack his family and friends? As for his friends, Yang Luo, a follower of the Night King, I believe no one wants to bear the wrath of the Night King.

I haven't known Chen Die for too long. According to those in power, they may not dare to say that they regret it.

Li Ziwen is even more unlikely, he was just a client he met in a brothel.

But if it's family, it's different.

Bu Chen narrowed his eyes and pondered for a long time before finally asking, "Madam, are you going to attack my family?"

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Although I haven’t met my father, mother and elder brother in this life, they are still my family.

If the whole world is full of malice towards me, that is my last harbor. Therefore, no matter whether it is emotional or logical, I will never let anyone hurt my family.

The imperial concubine seemed to have not noticed Bu Chen's behavior and said, "Why would I attack your family? I have made you hostile to me for no reason and it won't bring any benefits."

It’s not the Imperial Concubine, but this is not good news. The Imperial Concubine means that someone is indeed trying to attack her family, and this is not an ordinary force.

The imperial concubine wanted to take this opportunity to recruit me into her service, so that she could kill me in one move, leaving me with no way out.

After thinking for a moment, Bu Chen put away the jade-white fruit and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your gift, Madam."

The imperial concubine nodded again and said, "He is indeed a very thoughtful person."

Then he continued, "Don't worry, you will be glad for your choice today."

Bu Chen smiled bitterly, wondering if he would be glad that he didn't know in the future. Right now, he only knew that being targeted was not a pleasant feeling.

Seeing Bu Chen's expression, the imperial concubine said, "Nantianfu, Yujing Mountain, ten days later. Okay, that's all I have to say. You can go back now!"

Bu Chen thanked her: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I will take my leave first."

There are still ten days left, and time is a bit tight. I have to start preparing as soon as I get back.

You know, you can't leave the city at will.

A cold light flashed in Bu Chen's eyes. No matter who you are, if you touch my family, I will not let you off easily.

After Bu Chen left, the imperial concubine seemed to be thinking about something, muttering to herself: "Show your value, let me see why they set up this trap for you."
